''Dragon Pearl'' is a book by author Yoon Ha Lee published under the ''Creator/RickRiordan Presents'' label; it's similar to Riordan's books, but InSpace and with Korean mythology.
Thirteen-year-old Min is a gumiho, a fox spirit, who lives on the planet of Jinju with her mother and her many aunts. Jinju is imperfectly terraformed; it's capable of supporting life to some extent, but the air is unsafe to breathe and crops can't grow outside special environmental domes. Min is the second oldest of her generation. Her older brother Jun joined the Space Force, wanting to see the Thousand Worlds, and she wants to follow him when she's old enough. One day an investigator arrives - Jun has vanished. He's suspected of deserting to track down the legendary Dragon Pearl, which was meant to be used to fully terraform Jinju until it went missing. After a scuffle with the investigator, Min sets off on her own quest to find out what happened to her brother.

!!This book provides examples of:
* AbsentAliens: All the intelligent beings are from Earth.
* DisappearedDad: More specifically, he's dead.
* EatingTheEnemy: Apparently tiger spirits used to do this to prisoners. Captain Hwan [[spoiler:doesn't actually do such things, but Min pretends that he intends to while shapeshifted into him.]]
* FantasticFoxes: The gumiho, shapeshifting tricksters with (limited) mind-warping powers. (Anthropologically, they're the Korean cousins of the Japanese ''{{kitsune}}'' and the Chinese ''huli jing''.)
* FourIsDeath: Directly referenced several times - most notably the Fourth Colony, which is a ghost-ridden hellhole.
* GaiasVengeance: The people of the Fourth Colony didn't sacrifice properly to keep the pox spirits away. They all died of the plague as a direct result of this.
* HostileTerraforming: Mentioned as something that could be done with the Dragon Pearl. [[spoiler:Doesn't actually happen, but not for lack of effort on Hwan's part.]]
* LittleBitBeastly: While the actual animal spirits look fully human, goblins (dokkaebi) have visible horns on their foreheads.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Only trained terraformers and shamans can use the Dragon Pearl. [[spoiler:Min manages it despite not having the training, to lay the dead of the Fourth Colony to rest.]]
* OurWormholesAreDifferent: Called Gates. Spaceship goes in one end, spaceship comes out other end very far away. The amount of time it takes is variable but usually on the order of hours, and using the Gates requires a special sort of drive that has to recharge every few jumps.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Gumiho have a baseline human form and a fox form. They can also shift into almost anything else they want, including inanimate objects, but a specific human and a fox are their true forms.
* SpaceNavy: The Space Force doesn't quite have the name, but it's got everything else.
* SpeculativeFictionLGBT: Being a middle-grade novel, ''Dragon Pearl'' has no romance of any gender combination, but there's multiple characters who prefer "they" pronouns (this appears to be a completely value-neutral choice in-universe) and Min mentions that gumiho can choose what sex their physical body has.
* UnfinishedBusiness: Why ghosts stick around. Mostly for revenge, but not always. [[spoiler:Jang wants revenge on the mercenaries that killed him; the rest of Jun's landing party wants revenge on Captain Hwan; the ghosts of the Fourth Colony just want a decent burial.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The particular gift of the gumiho, although we also see tiger-human and dragon-human shifters. All three also get magical abilities unrelated to the shapeshifting.
* WeatherManipulation: One of the powers of dragon spirits. Young ones who haven't fully mastered this sometimes have their very own weather systems following them around; Haneul, a Space Force cadet, gets a literal PersonalRaincloud at one point.
